Version 12.1.2

20/10/2011  

Improvements

• CUSTOMIZE DIALOG: added the ability to customize mouse buttons.

• SR30874 - PERFORMANCE: increased speed of Xref attaching for drawings with large number of scales.

Fixed

• PRINT: changes were applied to layout when previewing a print. Now they are only applied when there is an actual print.
• SPLINEFIT: it was not possible to splineFit when SPLINESEGS was negative.
• SR31645 - LICENSE: fixed crash in Bricscad shutdown, when Bricscad startup is canceled because no valid license key is entered.
• SR31715 - DISPLAY: fixed display for polylines that have a global width and a dotted linetype.
• SR31731 - FIND and REPLACE: failed to process some formatting codes (\C, \H, \S, \T, \Q and \W) and grouping braces of MTEXT.
• SR31738 - PAGE SETUP: fixed crash in Page Setup dialog when a page setup was using a custom scale that was since removed from the scalelist.
• SR31738 - PAGE SETUP: 'Select area to be printed' did not work because the Drawing Explorer was open.

Applications

• OdDbGroup::setAnonymous() didn't create a unique *AXXX group name.
• SR31706 - COM: type AcadRasterImage was missing
• SR31763 - .NET: added support for selection sets to be passed though a .NET lispfunction

• VISUAL STYLES: implemented silhouette edges.
• SR24980, SR26375 - WIPEOUT: wipeouts can now be stretched.

Fixed

• 2DCONTEXT command: after executing the 2Dcontext command, the view jumped back to 3d rotation when grid was switched On/Off. Also wireframe visual style in 2Dcontext command was not valid.
• DRAWING EXPLORER: a crash occurred on closing Drawing Explorer when 'Dependencies' was selected in the Open Drawings tree.
• SECTIONPLANE: UCS was not taken into account for the 'select Face' option.
• SR29059 - TRIM: XData did not get copied to all parts of a trimmed entity.
• SR31452 - CUSTOM HATCH PATTERN: there was a crash on load when loading custom hatch pattern files that used Unix end-of-line style.

Version 12.1.0

12/10/2011  

New

• 2D CONSTRAINTS
  • Geometric constraints: Coincident, Collinear, Concentric, Parallel, Perpendicular, Tangent, Horizontal, Vertical, Smooth, Symmetric, Equal, Fix.
  • Dimensional constraints: Aligned, Horizontal, Vertical, Angular, Radius, Diameter
  • CONSTRAINTBAR command controls display of 2D constraint glyphs.
• DIRECT MODELING:

  The new built-in Bricsys constraint engine analyzes 3d models and captures their design intent. This enables powerful 3D editing without the need to have the modeling history available.

  • Direct Modeling Commands:
    • DMPUSHPULL: push/pull a face of a solid along its normal direction. When applied to a closed 2d entity that is coplanar with the face of a solid, a feature or hole is created on that solid.
    • DMMOVE: move a solid, face or edge in any direction along the UCS XY plane.
    • DMROTATE: rotate a face or an entire 3D solid around an axis.
    • DMEXTRUDE: extrude a closed planar 2D entity to create a 3D solid.
    • DMREVOLVE: revolve a closed planar 2D entity around an axis to create a 3D solid.
    • DMFILLET: create a fillet on a solid edge.
    • DMCHAMFER: create a chamfer on a solid edge.
    • DMDELETE: delete an entity or subentity.
    • DMCONSTRAINT3D: place a 3D constraint.
    • DMUPDATE: update the 3D model according to the specified 3D constraints.
    • DMCONSTRAINTSBAR: show/hide the 3D constraints bar.
  • Direct Modeling Settings:
    • DMRECOGNIZE: this setting consists of a number of flags that determine which design intent features (geometrical relations between surfaces) are to be recognized and maintained upon direct editing operations and 3D constraints recalculation.
      Flags:
      • Tangent surfaces
      • Coincident planes
      • Parallel planes
      • Perpendicular planes
      • Perpendicular cylinders
      • Coaxial surfaces
      • Equal radius
    • DMAUTOUPDATE: determines whether to update the model to satisfy 3D constraints automatically upon constraints creation or model modifications. If this setting is switched off, command DMUPDATE must be called to update the model.
  • Notes:
    • All direct modeling commands can be applied to selection sets. Press and hold Control to select multiple items.
    • X-Solids does history-based modeling. By applying direct modeling to solids created with X-solids, they will lose their history, and thus no longer be recognized by X-Solids commands.
• QUAD cursor menu

  The Quad cursor menu is an alternative to grip-editing of entities, offering a (much) richer set of editing operations while requiring fewer clicks, without cluttering the screen with loads of grip-glyphs.
  With the Quad activated, selecting an entity and starting a command takes a single click. More detailed instructions can be found in the help documentation.

  • QUADDISPLAY system variable: determines whether the Quad cursor menu is activated.
  • QuadShowDelay preference: specifies how many milliseconds to wait before the quad is shown when a (sub)entity is highlighted.
  • QuadHideDelay preference: specifies how many milliseconds to wait before the quad is hidden after moving the cursor.
  • PREVIEWSUBENTS system variable: defines which solid subentities should be highlighted during selection preview: faces, edges.
• Ctrl + LeftMouseButton no longer triggers Real Time Orbit, instead it is used for selection/deselection of entities. This was done to enhance selection of sub-entities (e.g. edges of solids). Please use Shift + MiddleMouseButton for Real Time Orbit.
• VISUAL STYLES:
  • Group display settings in a named style.
  • Rendered modes now have enhanced highlighting of faces and edges, grips, dynamics.
  • Command NEWWIZ: new 3D option creates a visual style MODELING and a view HOME which uses this visual style.
  • Command SHADEMODE has been adapted to use visual styles, and has been extended with visual style Modeling, recommended for 3D modeling, and High Quality, for rendering.
  • Note: some visual style settings are not supported and therefor displayed in disabled mode. They are maintained for compatibility reasons.
• 3D MODELING Settings. Enhanced 3D modeling features in Bricscad V12, are enabled or disabled by a set of preferences and system variables, both existing and new ones. All these settings are editable in the settings dialog, either by browsing to them, or typing a part of their name in the search field on top of the dialog. Below are recommended values for these settings. These are the default values, but if you experience problems when working in 3D, you might want to check their value:
  • PREVIEWSUBENTS: set to 3 (check faces and edges on) to have highlighting of faces and edges when the mouse hovers over solids. You can toggle between highlighting edges and faces, or the full solids, by clicking the 'SUB' button in the status bar or by pressing CTRL+F12.
  • QUADDISPLAY: when the mouse hovers over a closed planar 2D entity or a solid, the Quad cursor menu will display (see below for more info about the Quad cursor menu). You can toggle the display of the Quad (and its usage) On and Off by clicking the 'QUAD' button in the status bar or by pressing F12.
  • 3DCONTEXT and 2DCONTEXT commands switch the modeling environment On and Off.
• HATCH: added support for custom patterns, separate pattern files with pattern name matching the filename.
• TRIM: hatch entities can be trimmed. Associativity is maintained whenever possible.
• HATCHTOBACK: Sets the draw order of all hatch entities in the drawing to display behind all other entities.
• TEXTTOFRONT: Sets the draw order of all texts and dimensions in the drawing to display in front of all other entities.
• PAGE SETUP:
  • create, edit and manage Page Setup objects.
  • Page Setups can be applied to layouts.
  • Page Setup explorer allows to copy page setups between drawings.
  • PSETUPIN and -PSETUPIN commands offer additional ways to import page setups from other drawings.
• SECTIONS:
  • SECTIONPLANE: creates persistent section definitions. Jogged (multi-segment) section planes are not yet supported, but will be added soon.
  • SECTIONPLANESETTINGS: section objects have 2D settings, 3D settings and Live section settings, which are managed in the Drawing Explorer.
  • SECTIONPLANETOBLOCK: allows to generate 2D or 3D cutaway section geometry, according to the sectionplane settings. The result can be stored in a block or in a new drawing.
  • LIVESECTION: when a section object is set 'live', intersected objects, intersection fill and cutaway geometry are displayed in the drawing according to the live section settings. When the section object is moved or modified, section results are updated on the fly.
• PDF UNDERLAY:
  • Replaced Adobe PDF lib with FLYSDK lib from Visual Integrity.
  • Strongly improved snap performance.
  • Improved redraw speed.
